Impact of scandium and terbium on the mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and biocompatibility of biodegradable Mg-Zn-Zr-Mn alloys

Magnesium (Mg)-based bone implants degrade rapidly in the physiological environment of the human body which affects their structural integrity and biocompatibility before adequate bone repair. Rare earth elements (REEs) have demonstrated their effectiveness in tailoring the corrosion and mechanical...
